An anisotropic diffusion finite volume algorithm using a small stencil

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

This article presents a finite volume algorithm to solve anisotropic heterogeneous diffusion equations within the open source CFD software Code_Saturne. This algorithm has the advantage to use a small stencil composed of face neighbouring cells only, which makes it easy to parallelize. The resolution is performed through an iterative process (fixed point Picard algorithm). Second order convergence in space is numerically obtained on various analytical test-cases and mesh sequences of the FVCA6 benchmark and the results are compared to the barycentric version of the SUSHI scheme [3].
